"it's alright. this entire series would have been better in film because then you can see the character's faces and behavior during their sarcastic moments. as novels, it is hard to tell if a character means their sarcasm or not. the writing style is honestly not my favorite and i felt my eyes glaze over at the ramblings/repetition of the quirky "humor." it's obviously meant to be endearing but i didnt view it as such. the whole "ana with one n" thing was so annoying i nearly put the book down there. as a young queer person and probably the author's target audience, i appreciate that they tried to keep it open and tried to stereotype less. but i personally didn't like some characters due to how it was written."

"I’ve read quite a bit of Alexis Hall at the point, and Boyfriend Material is still my favorite. Happily, Husband Material is a worthy follow-up! Lots of literal lols, and it’s so fun to see Luc and Oliver continue to evolve. Very light on plot, but a great combination of truly silly humor and a thoughtful exploration of queer identity. "

"Finished August 13th. I love all of Alexis Hall’s books and this was no exception. I laughed out loud a lot, and cried a couple times too. "

"i have complex feelings about this book. i wasn’t expecting this to be the ending, and it wasn’t necessarily the ending that i would’ve wanted. however i think it’s an important ending that should be respected."

"Specific Rating: 4.75/5 Not as quite good as Boyfriend Material, but still very funny, sweet, romantic"

"I really had enjoyed boyfriend material and going into this book with the same expectation, I was disappointed. The entire book seemed disjointed and the end just made the rest fall flat. There were funny parts, but it just wasn’t as good as the first book. It’s largely Luc just trying to prove he is a better person, not much of Oliver, and a series of events that wouldn’t even happen. Pretty much no spice or chemistry shown between Luc and Oliver either. Just not really worth the read."

"Not as good as boyfriend material but still worth the read. "

"Awww finishing this story made me so happy but so sad at the same time!!! I’ll miss the characters, but I was really satisfied with the end. It was unexpected yet fit so well for this couple. Such a cute spin off and I’m glad I read it. :)"

"honestly? it's not as good as the original. something about it feels clashes with the first, but in the end it was alright. I was really just happy there was more of this duo. issue is their dynamic feels super forced in my opinion."
